Ingredients

Scale

Whipped Cream Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy cream (heavy whipping cream), cold
  • 2 Tbsp caramel spread of choice (e.g., Dulce de Leche)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for more flavor)
  • 1 pinch salt

Caramel Swirl

  • 1 Tbsp additional caramel spread (for the caramel swirl effect)

Instructions

  1. Chill the bowl: Place the mixing bowl in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to chill. Keep the heavy cream cold until ready to use to ensure optimal whipping results.
  2. Prepare the whipped cream: Pour the cold heavy cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Attach the whisk attachment if using a stand mixer or use a hand mixer with beaters.
  3. Add flavorings: Add 2 tablespoons of caramel spread, vanilla extract if using, and a pinch of salt to the cream.
  4. Whip the cream: Start whipping on low speed, then gradually increase to high speed as the cream thickens. Continue whipping until stiff peaks form, meaning the beaters leave defined tracks in the cream. Be careful not to over-whip as it can turn into butter.
  5. Taste and adjust: Do a quick taste test and add more sugar if you prefer it sweeter or more salt to balance the flavor.
  6. Prepare the piping bag: Fold down the top of a piping bag to create a cuff. Spoon a few tablespoons of caramel spread inside the pipe; if needed, gently heat caramel to make it smooth enough to drip down the sides.
  7. Fill the piping bag: Fill the rest of the piping bag with freshly whipped cream, allowing the caramel to coat the inside and create a swirl effect when piped out.
  8. Pipe and serve: Pipe the whipped cream onto your desired desserts like cakes, pies, fruit, or hot beverages such as coffee or hot chocolate to create beautiful caramel swirl patterns.
  9. Storage: Store any leftover whipped cream in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Re-whip briefly before serving if needed to restore texture.

Notes

  • Chilling the bowl and keeping cream cold are essential for achieving stiff peaks.
  • Gently heat caramel if it’s too thick to spread smoothly inside the piping bag.
  • Do not over-whip the cream to avoid turning it into butter.
  • Use freshly whipped cream immediately for best texture and taste.
  • This recipe yields approximately 2 cups of whipped cream.
